Actually I have lots of transparencies stored in the fridge - all from my Canon EOS era (few of Velvia and a stock of Sensia 100 intended for a trip to Beiging few months ago that has never realized). I just forgot the only B&W (albeit C41) roll I have at work yesterday (and today I stayed at home for study and taking care some family issues) out of my M6 excitement, but your're probably right - perhaps I ought to start with some nice slides....
